Gold Two Ounces 2025 City Views - Athens, Coin from United Kingdom - detailed information

Like many other mints, the Royal Mint issues bullion coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. The two ounce (2 oz) gold coins are denominated as Two Hundred Pounds (£200).

The coins are legal tender but are not intended for circulation. They are targeted at bullion investors or collectors who appreciate the special editions as pieces of art. The coins are typically "one-year" types usually issued in parallel with smaller denominations with the same reverse designs.

This design is the fourth and final release in the City Views series and features Athens, the capital of Greece.

The mint says about it:
The 2oz Gold Proof City Views Athens Coin is a striking tribute to Athens and its enduring cultural influence on Britain. With only 100 coins minted, this limited-edition piece captures the beauty of Athens' architectural wonders, including a panoramic view of the Acropolis. Crafted from 999.9 fine gold, it is the final release in The Royal Mint's City Views collection, celebrating the interconnected history between Greece and the United Kingdom. Presented in a box with a Certificate of Authenticity, this final City Views edition is a must-have item.
